Bolton compares Iran threat to Sept 11 attacks

[deadparrot]

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, John Bolton, on Wednesday compared the threat from Iran's nuclear programs to the September 11 terror attacks on the United States.

"Just like September 11, only with nuclear weapons this time, that's the threat. I think that is the threat," Bolton told ABC News' Nightline program.

"I think it's just facing reality. It's not a happy reality, but it's reality and if you don't deal with it, it will become even more unpleasant."

Bolton ratcheted up the rhetoric as the five veto-holding members of the U.N. Security Council failed again to reach agreement on how to curb Iran's nuclear ambitions after a fifth round of negotiations.

1. Grabbing at straws, he is. nt

[sabra]

2. What is wrong with this person?

If Bush gets impeached does Bolton go with him?

[DELUSIONAL]

10. he's a sub human character -- he is missing a logic gene

[0007]

32. I still can't get over how Bolton got into the U.N. and why he's

still there.

So why the hearings for the position, if the the prez can appoint anyone he wants when congress is on vacation?

[Warren Stupidity]

3. Bush administration needs to adjust poll numbers before Nov. nt.

14. Oogum, Oogum, Boogum, Boogum, Boogum

Now baby you're casting your spell on me...


Now, I can just hear and see Bolton gettin' down w/that.

O-kay, not REALLY.

[mod mom]

11. I was wondering if that story about a defense contractor stopped in Iraq

with explosives, could have been setting up an attack to allow * to blame Iran. If terror comes to our shores, those double digit approval ratings will drop to the basement, but if armed forces are the target then * will have his justification.

[oblivious]

5. The fact that Iran has no nules and isn't developing them being irrelevant

[BootinUp]

7. Somebody punch that skipping record player. n/t

9. Captain Satanic Kangaroo

say boooooooooooooo

[HuffleClaw]

12. 911! 911! 911!

if he says it enough times SOME folks will believe it, but imo, this is pretty over the top, even for him.

"Russia and China are resisting proposals from Britain, France and the United States for a council statement that would express "serious concern" about Iran's nuclear program..."

so, yellling '911!' is supposed to convince them? not bloody likely. it really sounds like russia and china both know EXACTLY what bushco. is looking for from the UN, a cute little loophole that bush can call an 'authorization' for WAR, and they are determined not to let that happen. good for them.

[leesa]

13. Oh brother. Mushroom clouds again is it? Will the BushBots fall for it

AGAIN???

[Gregorian]

15. He can't hide behind that mustache much longer.

Come out, come out, wherever you are! Yoo hoo! Time's up. We aren't falling for the Republican mumbo jumbo any more.

[daleo]

16. Something wicked this way comes

Bush, Bolton et al are cooking up something.

[IndianaGreen]

17. More fearmongering from a neocon puke!

and now Condi is calling Iran the banker of terrorism. Ohhhh, I am so afraid of Iran....

:puke:

[Hardrada]

18. Boy. right on time!

Syphilitic spouse molesting fascist cokesaking piece of dogshit!

[antonialee839]

19. Say it ain't so Chicken Little!

[teryang]

20. Is this a pump and dump scheme?

I believe they are trading on these stupid public diatribes.

One week they run the energy stocks down with Opec annoucements of plenty and the next week they run them up with their sabre rattling.

[mogster]

21. It's amazing. Only one picture can describe this...

The most fun photoshopped pic ever from DU, posted around the time of the 'bathroom incident' by unknown photoshopper. Kudos!

[donkeyotay]

22. Lol, we'll all be wearing the white mustache soon

Hey Bolton, who were the America citizens in the NSA intercepts that you could see but the Senate couldn't?

[Punkingal]

33. LOL!

Never saw this picture before...thanks for posting it. :rofl: Nice to see something to laugh at in the middle of a nightmare.

[struggle4progress]

23. struggle4progress compares Bolton to the Son of Frankenstein:

"Just like Frankenstein, only with the attitude of an adolescent zombie, that's the threat. He's not a happy reality, but he's a reality and if we don't deal with him, he will become even more unpleasant."

[xxqqqzme]

24. I am so f*cking weary of

the same old shit spilling from their lying lips. I am sick and tired of observing death ladened anniversaries. This entire cabal needs 2 be packed on a freight transport and unloaded in The Hague.

[Cleita]

25. I wish Iran would file a complaint with the Hague about

our government threatening them with an invasion. They'd better do it while they still have a government that can file a complaint.Maybe then there will be justice served.

[EFerrari]

29. You're so right. They're all psychopaths.

All of them.

[Media_Lies_Daily]

26. Bolton, and the rest of the NeoCons, are full of total crap.

[CJCRANE]

27. 9/11 for the neocons: the gift that keeps on giving..nt

[moondust]

28. Still milking 9/11.

Yeah right.

[baby_mouse]

30. Does he indeed? Does he really? Well. There ya go, eh?

No smoke without fire. Oh, sorry, this isn't smoke it's hot air...

[salin]

31. Looks like Condi's promised leash on him

(her promise to rein him in during his confirmation hearings) has snapped loose, again...

[TheBaldyMan]

34. John has lost the plot again.

He not only resembles a broom, he's as daft as a brush.

[TankLV]

35. Straight out of his own Mein Kampt - I mean PNAC manual.

These criminals have no shame anymore.

[spanone]

36. Fuck you John Bolton, you don't represent the American People.

You only represent GEORGE W. BUSH*. You are the appointee that Congress NEVER got to vote on. YOU REPRESENT NO ONE.

[phusion]

37. Be afraid, be very afraid!

what a fuckwit.
